Notice the splotching on the spokes? This is typical on factory wheels, after all it was only done to provide a little protection on bare aluminum. This is in the forging resulting from the process. Now, however, we find no one wants such a "imperfection" in their wheels. We sometimes have to refinish the spoke two or three times to get past the material compression. Al We maintain a series of original factory wheels for comparison and as a guide to originality. |

It's fun to go out to Weidman Wheels and have Harvey and the gang show you why they can't refinish to "factory perfect" 'cause the factory was nowhere near perfect...
